THE ERROR OF ARIUS ABOUT THE INCARNATION

In their eagerness to proclaim the unity of God and man in Christ, some heretics went to the opposite extreme and taught that not only was there one person, but also a single nature, in God and man. This error took its rise from Arius. To defend his position that those scriptural passages where Christ is represented as being inferior to the Father, must refer to the Son of God Himself, regarded in His assuming nature, Arius taught that in Christ there is no other soul than the Word of God who, he maintained, took the place of the soul in Christ’s body. Thus when Christ says, in John 14:28, “The Father is greater than I,” or when He is introduced as praying or as being sad, such matters are to be referred to the very nature of the Son of God. If this were so, the union of God’s Son with man would be effected not only in the person, but also in the nature. For, as we know, the unity of human nature arises from the union of soul and body.

RESTORATION OF MAN BY GOD THROUGH THE INCARNATION

We indicated above that the reparation of human nature could not be effected either by Adam or by any other purely human being. For no individual man ever occupied a position of pre-eminence over the whole of nature; nor can any mere man be the cause of grace. The same reasoning shows that not even an angel could be the author of man’s restoration. An angel cannot be the cause of grace, just as he cannot be man’s recompense with regard to the ultimate perfection of beatitude, to which man was to be recalled. In this matter of beatitude angels and men are on a footing of equality. Nothing remains, therefore, but that such restoration could be effected by God alone.

But if God had decided to restore man solely by an act of His will and power, the order of divine justice would not have been observed. justice demands satisfaction for sin. But God cannot render satisfaction, just as He cannot merit. Such a service pertains to one who ...

This is a genuinely important question — and the honest answer may surprise many well-meaning Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs). There's a real distinction between what has become common parish practice and what Church law and the Congregation for Divine Worship (CDW) actually teach. Here's the full picture, presented with clarity and charity:

⚠️ The Key Truth: EMHCs Cannot Give Sacramental Blessings

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, who are always laity, cannot give sacramental blessings within Mass. This is grounded directly in Canon Law.

Canon 1169 of the Code of Canon Law addresses this directly: those marked with the episcopal character and presbyters permitted by law can perform consecrations and dedications validly; any presbyter can impart blessings except those reserved to the Roman Pontiff or bishops; a deacon can impart only those blessings expressly permitted by law.

Notice who is missing from that list — the laity. There is simply no allowance whatsoever for a lay person or an ...
